"I've worked very hard this offseason so I felt I already had offers," Brown said. "I'm pretty excited about my first offer though, and now I'm looking forward to getting more. I don't know a lot about UTEP, but their recruiting coach told me that they have good academics and that is what I am looking for."

Cal, Oregon, UCLA, USC, Washington, Nebraska and UTEP have been by the school showing interest in Brown. He has received a phone call from Washington.
